Product Description

Nikon adds the powerful and agile Z 8 to its range of professional Z mirrorless cameras. Packing a host of Z9 features into a lightweight body, the all-new Z 8 gives hybrid video/stills creators astounding flexibility with which to bring their vision to life.

With its incredible blend of class-leading performance and compact build, the Z 8 is an exciting follow up to the Z 9 and a true creative successor to the D850. Weighing just 910 g (approx.), the Z 8 body is 30 % smaller than the Z9 and 15 % smaller than the D850. It’s the perfect hybrid camera for creators who want a lighter body for shooting handheld or a full-frame camera that will balance perfectly on any rig, including most gimbals.

A veritable video and stills powerhouse, the Z 8’s 45.7 megapixel stills resolution and 8.3K native video resolution open so many possibilities. The same stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor as the Z 9 ensure spectacular image quality straight out of the camera, giving creators maximum flexibility to adjust to any workflow. Video can be recorded in an array of frame rates and codecs, including in-camera 12-bit RAW for video up to 8.3K/60p or 4.1K/120p. Stills shooters can work with an array of file sizes and burst speeds, including an astounding 120 fps. For HDR content creators, the camera records 10-bit HEIF stills and 10-bit HLG video. The smaller, lighter body doesn’t sacrifice reliability: the Z 8 boasts pro-grade weather sealing, and the same cold tolerance as Nikon’s flagship D6 and Z 9 cameras, ensuring reliable performance in low temperatures. The Z 8 is also the first Nikon mirrorless camera to feature two USB-C ports, which makes it possible to transfer files quickly while charging. Beyond the camera, there’s a NIKKOR Z lens for every idea and budget, and partner accessories from gimbals to mics and more.

EXPEED 7 processor

Powers the camera’s lightning-fast focusing, smooth video, and high burst speeds. Handles complex AF and AE calculations at unprecedented speed, and separately processes dual-streamed data from the stacked image sensor

 

Video

Records pristine 8K or 4K video and boasts numerous space-saving, time-saving features. Users can shoot 12-bit RAW footage in-camera and work with Nikon’s N-RAW files, which are half the size of a ProRes RAW HQ file. In-camera Full-HD proxy files are created when shooting internal 8.3K N-RAW or 4.1K ProRes RAW HQ.

 

Deep-learning AF

Precision detection and tracking for people, dogs, cats, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trains, and planes. Subject detection and AF work down to -9 EV for video and stills. Eyes stay in focus, even if a subject is moving fast and upside down. Faces will be in sharp focus even if the scene is strongly backlit.

 

Light and tough

Weighing just 910g (approx.), and high-performance weather sealing keeps out dust, dirt, and moisture. The same cold tolerance as Nikon’s flagship D6 and Z9 cameras means you can shoot reliably in temperatures down to -10°C/14°F

 

HDR content ready

Shoots 10-bit HEIF stills and 10-bit HLG video. Content is instantly viewable on HDR screens, no editing necessary

 

Real-live viewfinder and tilting monitor

Smooth blackout-free viewfinder thanks to dual-stream technology. Bright, 4-axis tilting touchscreen monitor

Not overwhelmed...

Seems much the same as my D850...it's as big and heavy, guzzles batteries, won't accept my non Nikon batteries, has just enough menu changes from the D850 to be annoying.
Focusing mode changes are more fiddly than the D850; miss the old dedicated switch on the D850..
It does autofocus better than the D850 but it's still not perfect..
The live histogram in the viewfinder is an improvement as are the longer (up to 900secs) and faster shutter speeds available.
Does appear to have slightly less noise at high ISOs that the D850 though not sure why.
I used to have a programmable button on my old D750 set up to photograph birds but its impossible to easily get the same setup on the Z8 without fiddling around in the menus.
The camera is bizarrely initially set up so that the protective 'shutter' over the sensor remains open when the camera is turned off.
So the overriding impression left over the D850 is poor battery life...

This replaced a D850 and whilst I've yet to use it in earnest, I'm most impressed with it and its handling is very similar the D850 being a slightly larger body over the Z6/ 7. I part exchanged the D850 and the whole process from collection through to delivery of the new body was quick and well organised.

Great camera...great service. Traded in my trusty Z9 for this Z8, purely based on weight. I'm not getting any younger! There was no learning curve for me - the Z8 is simply the Z9 re-packaged in a smaller, lighter body. 10/10 for ergonomics, computer engine-room, firmware update process and image quality. 8/10 for auto-focus (as per the Z9); standard AF is very good (9/10), other than with some white birds (Terns, Barn Owl) and nearby, small stationary subjects, when it struggles. Otherwise, it's bang on. Subject Tracking AF is more hit & miss, but I don't rely on it, thankfully. It works well when you don't need it! Can't imagine that I'll need/want to buy another camera. Thanks Nikon and Harrison Cameras.
